West Bend News (not sure of paper or year).
Mrs. Henry Fromm for many years residing in this vicinity passed
away at her home in Milwaukee, last week Tuesday, April 15.  She
had been in declining health for over four months following a
paralytic stroke on Dec. 12 last.  The deceased whose maiden name
was Bertha Wernicke, was born July 6, 1852 in Germany, and came
over to this country at the age of two years.  Her family made their
home at Johnson's Creek, Mayville and Theresa.  She was married
to Henry Fromm on November 3, 1876, and they settled down on a
farm in the town of Barton, where they lived for 26 years.  They
celebrated the golden wedding three years ago.  In 1903 they moved
to Milwaukee.  Besides her husband, she leaves two children,
William and Alice (Mrs. Otto Breitenbach), both of Milwaukee,
five grandchildren, four sisters, Mrs. Fred Martin of West Bend,
Mrs. W.F. Livingstone of Milwaukee, Mrs. John Grankow of Avon,
S. Dakota, and Mrs. Geo. F. Smith of Avon Park, Florida and one
brother, Paul Wernicke of Brooksville, Florida.  Mrs. Fromm was
all that could be expected of a good wife, mother and sister.  She
well filled her allotted place in life.  Helpful, compassionate and
forebearing, she personified the fundamental Christian principles.
Her memory will live in those near and dear to her.  The funeral was
held last Saturday afternoon from the home to Bethesda Lutheran
Church, Milwaukee.  The last rites were conducted by Rev. H.
Knuth and his assistant.  Burial was made in Graceland Cemetery in
Milwaukee.
